We are very pleased with the outcome of Tuesday's election and are excited to move forward with the renovation and construction of five elementary schools for the Ames Community School District. This outcome was certainly a community effort and a reflection of our community's commitment to its children and their education. We would be remiss in not expressing our gratitude to those who were instrumental in the passage of the bond.

We are very pleased with the outcome of Tuesday’s election and are excited to move forward with the renovation and construction of five elementary schools for the Ames Community School District. This outcome was certainly a community effort and a reflection of our community’s commitment to its children and their education. We would be remiss in not expressing our gratitude to those who were instrumental in the passage of the bond.

We must first thank the Ames Community School District Board of Directors, both past and present, for their work in bringing this bond to fruition. Without their vision and hard work, our children and teachers would be left to learning and teaching in a less than optimal setting.

We are also grateful for the financial support that we received from across Ames. Because of your generosity, we were able to supply our volunteers with fliers to deliver door to door as well as provide the voting public with information on our website.

Ultimately, the outcome would not have been as favorable if it were not for our legion of volunteers from across Ames who gave their time in an endless variety of ways. We tip our hats to each and every one of you.

These new and/or renovated schools will provide a healthy and secure environment for the children of Ames and offer teachers an adequate and flexible teaching atmosphere with 21st century technological capabilities. We are grateful to the Ames community for supporting this measure.
